I chose GPT - now the restored disk doesn't boot :(

Thread needs solution

New hard drive
When inserted, I got an option to choose either MBT or GPT

Acronis tech support advised me before that GPT was fine
+ I googled to double check - saw a few links saying it was OK

So, I chose GPT
I restored
Insert new hard drive - doesn't work
DAMN!

I know from painful experience while trying to rescue another image, that the problem will be solved by converting to MBR

How do I do this?

The Acronis docs say that I should have an option to recover MBR - but I can't see this!!
See this link: www.acronis.com/en-hk/support/documentation/ATIH2012/7943.html

HELP!!! I'm stuck
I need to recover the disk and go to sleep

The last time I had the trouble, I had to install Easus - which I don't want to do since it's full of spamware
I see Acronis have an ISO download - is this my only option?????
I don't want to install another program on my PC

HELP!!!!!!!

Thanks

OM

i was choosing to restore one single drive - i didn't realise that there were others (like backup and efi)
once everything restored, all ok!
